This course is for anyone who would like to develop their skills and confidence in being a coach, or who wants to encourage a ‘coaching culture’ within their organisation. Delegates come from a variety of backgrounds and roles, including managers, HR professionals and those working in coaching who want to strengthen their CV with a qualification to show they are accredited coaches.

Delegates learn to appreciate the value that coaching can add to individuals, teams and businesses. The course is incredibly interactive and participative so that by the end of the course they have the skills, confidence and ability to coach others.

This course is split into two units, delivered over a total of six workshops. At the end of each unit, delegates will be required to complete an assignment on what they have learnt so far. Upon successful completion, they will gain a Level 3 Certificate in Management Coaching & Mentoring and have the required skills (and qualification) to go on and be a coach or mentor.
